Christian martyrs

Ready for another dumb Hitler analogy, because this is the week where we do those? Let’s get reacquainted with Aaron and Melissa Klein, who decided to be martyrs just like Jesus, by refusing to make a cake for a lesbian wedding. Then they lost their bakery, because they are twats, and then Satan personally attacked them by canceling their GoFundMe, which they planned to use to pay the fine they owed the state of Oregon, for the crime of being twats. This was obviously more persecution, because it says right there in the book of Romans that all good Christians are entitled to a GoFundMe.

Well, Satan is now persecuting the Kleins via his son Adolf Hitler, who has commanded the gays to put the Kleins in a concentration camp, or at least make fun of them on the internet. Aaron Klein explained the Holocaust they are enduring, after being set up by wingnut radio host Rick Wiles:

“This is the gaystapo,” said Wiles. “This is just like the Nazi homosexuals in the 1930s. It was a militant homosexual network that took over Germany, that’s what this is, and they are going to silence all opposition if people do not stand up and put a stop to this stuff.”

For the uninitiated, who were perhaps not aware how the Nazis were all gay, you should understand that very stupid bigots believe all of the lies from this book The Pink Swastika, written by a man named Scott Lively, who is being tried for crimes against humanity for inciting anti-gay hatred in Uganda, which says that the Nazis were all gay. It is absolute bullshit, of course.

So, having been set up by Wiles, Klein let his bigot freak flag fly:

The people who sit in the pews on Sunday are not protected. … We have to use what we can right now to stem the tide, because if we don’t, we will find it inside the church. You will have the rainbow flag flying above your church, because they will be considered hate.

Your turn, Wiles:

The German churches that were intimidated by the Nazis had swastikas flying above their churches. So what you’ll have in the United States are cowardly, wimpy churches that will have a rainbow flag. There’s no difference. Rainbow flag, Nazi swastika, it’s the same thing. It’s the same spirit behind it.

And the serve goes back to Klein, who cites that part of the Bible where Jesus says that ye will be persecuted in His holy name, for being twats:

But we know this was going to happen. We know this as Christians, if we read our Bibles, we see that the Gospel is an offense to those who are perishing. We see that these people, in Romans chapter 1, these people are going to be given over to their sin to the extent that they are going to try to coerce others into committing that same sin. But we need to be very mindful of what 1 Timothy 5:22 says, and that is we are not to take part in another man’s sin. That is something we have to watch out for because we cannot send a mixed message as a follower of Christ.

Klein knows that Satan is tempting him to do the gay, but as a follower of Christ, he will NOT put his cake frosting on another man’s penis and seductively lick it off, no way no how, he’s armed with the BIBLE.

So is Wiles, who says, “These freaks don’t understand the level of our intensity of our commitment to Jesus Christ. They don’t understand, we will go to prison, we will go to the grave before we allow them to silence us.” Jeez, well okay. We get that they love Jesus, or at least some hateful bastard shithole version of Jesus, but we didn’t realize the Great Tribulation would involve so many bakeries.

And besides, the homosexuals really shouldn’t be doing this persecution in Oregon, because know what ELSE lives in Oregon, besides gay Hitler? It’s the Juan de Fuca subduction zone, that fault that’s gonna earthquake the Pacific Northwest real bad one of these days:

Wiles also suggested that the “freaks” behind the nondiscrimination law will incite divine wrath: “How close is the Oregon state capital to an earthquake fault?”

“People who live on a subduction zone should not defy the living God,” Wiles said. “Let’s be real blunt about it: If you live on a fault line or a volcano, you really shouldn’t be shaking your fist at the God who made the planet. That’s really dumb.”

Because God might get real mad and go back millions of years and add an extra “gays only” earthquake into the already existing earthquake plan for Oregon, because He’s just that much of a twat. Klein agrees that prissy bitch Jesus is the one who died on the cross for his wife’s dumb fucking cake business and God hates fags, this is definitely just like Hitler, Glory Hallelujah In Jesus’ Precious Name, Amen.

Evan Hurst is the Senior Editor of Wonkette.
He spends his days deflecting the sad glances of his black lab, Lula, who would please like him to stop typing letters to the internet and throw the squeaky chicken in the backyard instead. Though the internet does not give him credit, it's probably his fault Aaron Schock is no longer a congressperson, due how Evan would not stay off his tail during the SCANDALS. (Not in a sex way, in a writing way!) Also, he writes songs and plays the piano, at the same time! Lastly, Evan is a Southern person, and thus is casting polite judgment on you, right now, for reading this. Bless your heart.

Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. 2 Kings 2:23-25 NIV

Sounds to me like God is using a couple of burly gay guys as his own personal muscle.

These wannabe martyrs really do just keep hitting themselves – then blaming the imaginary gay Nazis for it Well that’s novel, I guess.

elviouslyqueer

Klein agreed, stating that people should not “challenge God,” before
accusing the state of operating like “Marxist Russia” when it fined him
in the discrimination case.

Just to make things perfectly queer, the gays are Nazis, but Oregon is Marxist Russia. Only Russia fought against the Nazis. SO CONFUSED.

Oh wait. Aaron Klein must’ve read one of those new AP History books.

JMP

But see, the Nazis and the Bolsheviks all believed in the exact same liberal ideology, but just fought because each wanted to be the one to be the new communist rulers of Europe!

This is not something I’ve made up, but an actual argument I’ve seen from wingnut idiot trolls laughably trying to claim the Nazis were really liberals.

Villago Delenda Est

The interesting thing is that some of the Nazis (notably Ernst Röhm, the head of the SA until he had a slight accident during the Night of the Long Knives) were homosexuals. It’s just that one of the explanations of why Röhm had to have that accident, in retrospect, was that he was a homosexual. The real reason was he was seen both as a threat to Hitler and to Hitler’s would be allies in the traditional German establishment. Of course, he was a VERY butch homosexual, and the Nazis had this tendency to go after the more effeminate male homosexuals for not being butch, but didn’t cotton to homosexuality, period, and, yes, singled them out for pink triangles in the KZs.

berkeleyfarm

Yeah. There’s also a popular narrative among (mostly white) evangelical Christians that they are being somehow persecuted for their faith. Since they aren’t really in the US (not being a cultural majority in a place like Portland doesn’t count), they have to try to gin something up.

Well, Portland can’t expel them, because that would be a violation of the “Keep Portland weird” rule.

hahaha mind you it is easy for evangelicals to “feel” persecuted in Portland, because they don’t run everything and the culture is secular with a large anti-religious (or specifically anti-Christian) element. It’s definitely similar around here.

They fear they are going to get what they gave. Maybe it’s not that bad now, but their fear is: IT IS COMING! Fear, shame, discrimination, recriminations forcing them into closets…

You gotta listen to these guys to get the whole story. The gay Nazi thing is from a book that pleasant closet case Scott Lively (yep, the Uganda kill the gays guy) called The Pink Swastika. See, it was only the fem gays who got sent to death camps, by the butch gay Nazis. Take a listen to Wiles’ podcast, Trunews, it is nuts. He doesn’t believe anything he says, he’s just in it for the money, but his followers probably do. Oh, Wiles was on about Jade Helm again yesterday…

“People who live on a subduction zone should not defy the living God,” Wiles said. “Let’s be real blunt about it: If you live on a fault line or a volcano, you really shouldn’t be shaking your fist at the God who made the planet. That’s really dumb.”

I guess the only recourse is to start a new gay homeland in Ohio, or upstate NY:

This deeply offends me because people who perpetuate the lie that nazis were gay intentionally rewrite history! They ignore the history of persecution to justify it’s continuation.
Hundreds of thousands of homosexuals were experimented on and imprisoned in concentration camps by nazis. The real number is unknown because, after allies rescued victims of the Holocaust, homosexual detainees were sent back to prison.

I will add a more serious comment. If you’ve read Rise And Fall of the Third Reich, you’ll know that the author makes a point of calling many of the original nazi leaders sexual deviants and homosexuals (in a negative way), so I think some folks cling on to that like it was their prerogative to rule gay Europe or whatever. I am opposed to that sentiment and Nazis in general, obviously, because I have a brain.

SuspectedDemocrat

That struck me, too, but then the book was published in 1960 and he was reflecting the prejudice of his time. He was reporting on rumors of homosexuality of specific individuals which may or may not have been true (and if so were hidden), started by who knows who (political enemies within the Nazi party in some cases).

riledupone

At that time homosexuality was still considered a mental illness. Hinting about gay Nazis, or Nazis exhibiting any kind of paraphilia was to increase their evilness quotient. Kind of a reverse gilding the lily.

“You will have the rainbow flag flying above your church”

But it’s OK to have American flags in church sanctuaries? Yeah, I’m sure God is tickled PINK (winkwinknudgenudgesaynomore) to have Caesar’s emblem in the middle of His house.

You hit on one of my pet peeves—flags in churches. Nothing shrinks the concept of “god” as fast as a nationalistic one.

The Kleins really hated it when I went on their Facebook page and correctly called them Fascist bigots LMAO
But, what they REALLY didn’t like is when I and several others reminded them of WHY they were fined…you see, the Labor Commissioner (Brad Avakian, my former State Senator) ruled that, while refusing to bake the cake was a violation, he assessed no fine for that.
He assessed the fine for two reasons: first, for releasing personal information about the lesbian couple on their Facebook page and, second (and more importantly), for their comments in the media clearly stating that they had been bigots in the past, were bigots now and intended on being bigots in the future.

So, what the Kleins essentially did was screw themselves over. LMAO

ExRadioGuy15

Avakian correctly dismissed the “free speech” argument along with the “freedom of religion” argument. It would really help if these GOP Fascist Christian Plutartheocrat psychopaths/sociopaths would actually READ the Constitution, rather than relying on their party leadership’s and their pastor’s/minister’s intentional misinterpretation of it.

ZangoCrudmonger

Aye, thar’s the rub – publicly exposing the couple’s info and bragging about the hate in social media. Little to do with cake, much to do with assholery operating a licensed business.

Katie Doyle

I smell a GOP recruitment in his or her future. I really wish I was kidding.

Patrick Van Der Ven

LOL, I smell a lot of bullshit. (From Aaron Klein ) Really do you think the GOP are so stupid to recruit Aaron Klein.I suppose if it does He and Aaron Schock could run on a joint ticket. Didn’t Mr Klein say he could give into the gay. Just like the comedy duo in Great Britain had the two Ronnies America could have the two Aarons.

Dr Night

Is the GOP stupid enough? Two words: Donald Trump.

Patrick Van Der Ven

Sorry you’re right. I plead no contest

Celtic_Gnome

Wait a minute. As I understand it, if Oregon and Washington state fall into the ocean, it’s because of legal marijuana, and if the entire west coast falls into the ocean, it’s because of gay marriage. I really have to stop watching the Weather Channel.

Patrick Van Der Ven

Pass the bong I wanna go surfing

It was a militant homosexual network that took over Germany

I call bullshit.

That flag was not tasteful at all.

fifthdentist

And it was uber hard to coordinate it with the rest of the decor.

nightmoth

Thx for the info, Evan. Never heard of Scott Lively or his book. So people who know nothing about pink triangles or the murderous gay purge within the Nazi party now believe in a fictitious Pink Swastika? Oy. Mustn’t drink before noon.

Patrick Van Der Ven

I knew about the pink triangle and posted as a gay man that I took personal offence for the rabid lies the Kleins spewed( German for small) on Huffington post . I mean I could not believe someone was so fatuous and obtuse. I found the NAZI connexion: Aaron Klein is Joseph Goebbels reborn. LOL the propaganda ministry for the right wing religious bigots has been found.

Teto85

That’s some pretty strong derp right there, close to industrial strength.

Sterculius

I think if the Nazis were gay they could have come up with something more creative than a swastika. I guess those concentration camps for gays were actually secret night clubs with disco balls.

TheBidenator

“The German churches that were intimidated by the Nazis had swastikas flying above their churches” Um come again? This is some seriously delusional stupid on display here…uh no you fucking morans they weren’t ‘intimidated’ those were the German Christian churches. You’d recognize them due to your theologically similarity, in fact if you subtract the Hitler worship side portion of the church you’re very similar you stupid hick-brained fucks.

Vegan and Tiara

If you subtract the Hitler worship side portion of the church, but add the Reagan worship side portion of the church you come out pretty much equal.

This is what happens when someone gets their history lessons from Tom of Finland.

Is it me, or does Aaron Klein have The Ghey Bear-look down stone-cold?

This from a man who built an empire from his cream-filled Long Johns….

If they get so upset over a couple of guys exchanging vows, has the hell are these pansey assed Christians ever going to handle the Tribulation when it comes?

Pugsandcoffee

I try so hard, so very hard, not to be a condescending asshole to someone whose mythology is as laughable as, well, any other mythology, but eventually, it’s just so fucking dumb. You’re fucking dumb if you honestly think the gaystapo is going to make some god earthquake you real good. You are fucking dumb.
